Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Life experiences to know them lived.
Are like lessons to learn,
With a pain to realize over time...
To remember the agony.
...

Few can say...
They do not choose to make,
Their own decisions.
Done to do to have it their way.
...

Locked up in monotony.
Nonstop.
And baited to hook.
To all the nonsense dropped.
...

No one stunned,
Runs from it.
And no one runs,
When stunned.
...

Nobody does to another.
To not know why.
Nobody does this,
Repeatedly done using alibis.
...

It's the people.
Climbing up from being dumbed down.
And it's the people.
Finally seeing all around,
...

Before there was a web.
Nobody tweeted or twittered.
Before there was a web.
People spoke on the streets.
...

No depth has yet proven.
To be too low.
For those mindblowers.
Whether to do quickly.
...

What is it hoped to be accomplished.
When one confronts another.
To confess and tell the truth.
About telling lies,
...

Sought more when one ages,
Are positive affairs.
To appreciate and seek.
With them kept to be aware,
...
